Abstract: A debris-collecting assembly for a sliding door track in which a door is slidably mounted in an elongate lower channel of a door frame for movement between open and closed positions, and a top-open pan is removably located in the channel, the pan being open at one end to receive debris swept along the channel when the door is in its open position, and to receive the door in its closed position. An elongate track is in the channel and slidably engages the door, the track being spaced from a closed channel end to provide a compartment, and the pan is removably located in the channel compartment with the open pan end facing toward the track. In a double door assembly a pair of channels are disposed in side-by-side relation with a door slidably mounted in each channel. A passage between the channels places the channels in communication.

Abstract: A by-pass door assembly is disclosed including a pair of stiles and a pair of trim pieces adapted to frame a rectangular panel and a plurality of corner brackets held by the stiles and the trim pieces. Each of the stiles includes an elongated one-piece slot free member having spaced front and rear walls joined by a side wall to define a panel receiving channel. The rear wall and the side wall define a triangular box shaped portion. Each of the trim pieces includes a rear wall having a longitudinally extending, outwardly directed groove portion. Each of the corner brackets includes a central, channel-shaped housing and outwardly extending portions having spaced tabs adapted to be received and captured by the stile members. Tabs extend outwardly from the transverse edge of the bracket and include a transverse bead which is captured by the groove of the trim member.

Abstract: A double sliding door system in which a door stop centrally located between the doors works in combination with the positions of pin holes for receiving security pins so that security pins can be inserted through holes in the right and left door frames and will extend into the doors because of alignment of frame and door openings at times when the doors are against the stop in closed position for locking the sliding doors for 100% safety from opening from the outside of a home without destruction.

Abstract: The window assembly comprises a main frame made up of an extruded head, sill and side members. A stationary panel is secured within the frame. A sliding panel independently framed is secured to the main head extrusion through an elongated, rigid plastic key which is secured to the top of the slider head frame member of the sliding panel. The plastic key is slidably positioned in a keyway channel extending along the main frame head extrusion so as to suspend the sliding panel therefrom as the sole means of support. Both the keyway channel and the key have downwardly sloping, mating surfaces along which the sliding panel is suspended. A portion of the key may be metal and an integral part of the slider head as long as plastic inserts are used to avoid metal to metal contact. Spaced and overlapping leg sections of the sliding panel frame and the main frame restrain the sliding panel in the main frame should the key become disengaged or broken.

Abstract: Doors are slidably mounted in tracks by structure which cooperates with and follows the course of the tracks even around sharp corners and curves to permit sliding of the doors into out of the way storage positions. The sliding door assembly is illustrated forming a bathtub/shower enclosure.

Abstract: A wall-mounted notice board providing multiple access writing and display panels comprising a frame having four peripheral portions joined to a rear wall, a front wall fitting within said frame having pivots at one side and protruding beyond opposed edges thereof engaging movable guides in opposed peripheral portions of the frame enabling the front wal when pivoted outwardly of the frame to be moved from side to side in said frame thereby selectively exposing the inner surface of the rear wall and opposed surfaces of the front wall as accessible writing and display surfaces.

Abstract: A bi-fold door assembly including a pair of bi-fold door panels hinged together and having means for fixed pivotal location provided at the upper and lower disposed corners of the first door panel and means for guided pivotal retention provided at the upper and lower disposed corners of the second door panel, on respective guide tracks. The pivotal location means including pivot brackets of a new and different design formed from a single stamping and the other means including slide blocks having snap lock engagement with guide pins used therewith and which are of a particular design to best serve their intended purpose.
